Frank,
Have a look at that thread on c.s.a.st I learned a lot from the discussion.
This tool:
http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines
can be used to generate modelines to over-ride the various resolutions
default settings.
This is my MVDI.CNF I am not sure what driver version I am using,
I'll check when I next re-boot:
Version=0x0096

# MONITOR_MULTISYSNC = 0x0001,Multisync monitor

# 1 = Pixelpacked format
# pl -> planes: colour depth 1/8/16/32
# x -> visible horizontal line resolution
# xl -> length of the horizontal lines line with Syncro signals
# xs -> Start of the horizontal lines Syncro Signals
# xe -> End of the horizontal lines Syncro signals
# y -> Visible vertical line resolution
# yl/ys/ye vertical line Syncro-value signals are calculated internally
